Hello Everyone,[

Hope all are doing well.

I have a problem regarding to generate random password in power automate desktop. I write a VB Script that generate random password of length 6 including small and capital letter and also number and special character. But it throw syntax error, i am unable to find the exact error.

Anyone please help to resolve this problem.

Here i use Vb Script for generate random password, if anyone know more simple and easy method then please suggest me.

Here is my VB Script :

Sub Main
    Dim password, charset, i
    Dim randomChar

    ' Define the character set including small letters, capital letters, numbers, and special characters
    charset = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@#$%^&*()-=_+[]{}|;:',.<>?/~"

    ' Initialize the password variable
    password = ""

    ' Set the random seed based on the system time
    Randomize

    ' Generate each character of the password randomly from the character set
    For i = 1 To 6 ' Change 6 to the desired length of the password
        randomChar = Mid(charset, Int((Len(charset) * Rnd) + 1), 1)
        password = password & randomChar
    Next

    ' Output the generated password
    SetText password
End Sub

Thank you in advance,

Best Regards

Suraj

Hi @Suraj_Adhikari ,

Instead of vb script you can directly use create random text action.

Hi @Suraj_Adhikari ,

You have defined action for generating password in PAD.
Please use the below action "CREATE RANDOM TEXT" and set required length and characters type.

Thanks,
Vishnu Reddy
